Based mostly on feedback from an ex AULRO member that had an 06 defender which meant say is nearly the best defender to purchase.

I have a 2000 defender and a 2014 hi-lux....the hi-lux has done 160k and the defender 100k....the hi-lux hasn’t had a spanner on it, the defer on the other hand........pretty sure I know why Land Rover will never compete with the big players going forward.

Oh my defer is a keeper.....now that’s it’s set up. In hindsight I should have shelled out a few more and went with a troopie

That is the exact reason people buy them,from mainly their own experiences of the brand.

Not all the advertising hype,there are many on here that own them or have them as company vehicles and say the same.

As i have said as well,i have had many(not just a couple) as someone said,of work vehicles,millions of K's,and my own experience is the reason i would go with them.I don't even look at the companies advertising hype,it doesn't interest me one iota.

Hopefully base model comes in under the D5
